 [q] Order effects may be due to practice effects, _______effects, carryover effects, or sensitization. [textentry] [c] fatigue [a] Right! [c]* [a] No, order effects may be due to practice effects, fatigue effects, carryover effects, or sensitization.

 [q] Order effects may be due to practice effects, fatigue effects, carryover effects, or _________. [textentry] [c] sensitization [a] Right! [c]* [a] No, order effects may be due to practice effects, fatigue effects, carryover effects, or sensitization.

 [q] In a within-subjects design, _______ effects might cause an decrease in scores over trials that might be incorrectly interpreted as a treatment effect.[textentry] [c] fatigue [a] Right! [c]* [a] Sorry, fatigue effects might cause a decrease in scores over trials that might be incorrectly interpreted as a treatment effect.

  [q] Fatigue effects could be viewed as negative _______ effects.[textentry] [c] practice [a] You're getting it. [c]* [a] The answer we were looking for was that fatigue effects could be viewed as negative practice effects.

 [q] In within-subjects designs, sensitization could harm both internal validity and ______ validity.[textentry] [c] construct [a] Right! [c]* [a] The answer we were looking for was that sensitization could harm both internal validity and construct validity.

 [q] _______ effects are due to decreased performance on the dependent measure due to being tired or less enthusiastic as the experiment continues. [textentry] [c] fatigue [a] That's right. [c]* [a] Fatigue effects are due to decreased performance on the dependent measure due to being tired or less enthusiastic as the experiment continues

 [q] ________ effects refers to the lingering or delayed effects of a treatment administered earlier in the experiment persist so long that they are present even while participants are receiving additional treatments. [textentry] [c] carryover; carry-over; treatment carryover [a] Yes! [c]* [a] Carryover effects is the answer we were looking for.

 [q] Lengthening the time between treatments may reduce ________effects. [textentry] [c] carryover [a] Right, with more time, the effects of an earlier treatment are less likely to linger. [c]* [a] Lengthening the time between treatments may reduce carryover effects.

  [q] Giving participants extensive warm-up may reduce practice effects but increase _______ effects. [textentry] [c] practice [a] Right, participants may get bored with your task. [c]* [a] Unfortunately, you may be increasing how long the participant is in the study and decreasing the novelty of your task, which may result in boredom and fatigue.

 [q] As a participant in within-subjects experiment goes from trial to trial, the participant may become more aware of what the hypothesis is. This threat to both construct and internal validity is called _______________________ . [textentry] [c]sensitization [a] Good! [c]* [a]The right answer is sensitization.

 [q] One aspect of sensitization is that the participant is more aware of what the hypothesis is during later trials than in earlier trials. Becoming more aware of what the hypothesis during the later trials may create a(n) ______ effect which could harm the study's internal validity. [textentry] [c]order [a] Good job. [c]* [a] We were hoping you would say that this awareness might create an order effect.

 [q] _________ designs give participants the treatments in systematically different sequences. [textentry] [c]counterbalanced within-subjects; counterbalanced [a]Yes. [c]* [a]No, counterbalanced designs give participants the treatments in systematically different sequences.

[q] Counterbalanced designs balance out routine ______ effects. [textentry] [c]order [a]True. [c]sequence [a]No, you may be confusing sequence with order. Counterbalanced designs give participants different sequences of treatments to balance out order effects. To illustrate, suppose that in a counterbalanced design, half the participants get the treatments in the sequence: A first and then B, and the other half get the treatments in the sequence: B first and then A. In this case, routine order effects should not mimic a treatment effect. For example, if participants tend to do better on the first trial, that should not make A scores higher than B scores because both A and B were first half of the time. [c]* [a]No, counterbalanced within-subjects designs balance out routine order effects.

 [q] Counterbalanced designs are _____ designs. [textentry] [c]mixed [a]Good. [c]* [a]No, counterbalanced within-subjects designs are mixed designs.

 [q] Counterbalanced designs have the variables of treatment and ______ as a within- subjects variable. [textentry] [c]order; trials [a]Correct. [c]* [a]No, in counterbalanced designs, order is a within-subjects variable.

 [q] In a counterbalanced design, the sequence X treatment interaction may reflect the _____ effect. [textentry] [c] order [a] Well done! [c]* [a] No, in counterbalanced designs, the sequence X treatment interaction may reflect the order effect.

 [q] A ______ design has at least one within-subjects factor and one between-subjects factor. [textentry] [c]mixed [a]Correct [c]* [a]No, a mixed design has at least one within-subjects factor and one between-subjects factor.

 [q] Because the counterbalanced design is a mixed design, it may require ____ participants than a pure within-subjects design--especially if the researcher is interested in sequence effects.[textentry] [c]more [a]Right!To have enough power to test the between-subjects factor of sequence, more participants may be needed. [c]* [a]Sorry, the answer we were looking for was that the counterbalanced design might require more participants than a pure within-subjects design.
